The girl rose from her seat beside her counsel, took a step or two toward exit and fell forward on her knees, limp. Mrs. Kennedy, deputy sheriff, and bailiff Harry McGovern picked her up and carried her into jury room. First aid treatment was given the girl and consciousness quickly returned.

She was taken to jail hospital in same building, walking across "bridge of sighs" with unsteady steps. Counsel said physicians would examine her during noon recess and determine whether or not collapse was serious. But one tentative juror had been passed when the moon defense was taken. Martin Hencken was first juror to be passed by both defense and state. During his questioning nature of the crime was touched upon, mentioning girl defendant as slayer of her mother. This reference, however, failed to bring out any reaction or show of emotion from Dorothy, who was sitting where she could hear every word. SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 23.—Dorothy Ellingson's youth may save her from life imprisonment for slaying her mother.

"Would the youth of defend ant influence your verdict?" asked Test. Dist. Atty. Harmon Skillin of Geo. A. Metcalf, first prospective juror. "It would," Metcalf answered emphatically. Asked if he would disregard course instructions as to youth of defendant, Metcalf said firmly: AMERICANS INTERESTED IN PACT WASHINGTON, March 23.—For government not party to negotiations, and will not, under any circumstances, become party to whatever agreement ultimately is reached. America is taking an unusual interest in diplomatic maneuvering over projected European security pact. Pres. Coolidge and Secy. Kellogg are keeping in close touch with the negotiations going on in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin. Kellogg made a full report to the president on the situation when he returned from London, and since his becoming secretary of state has supplemented his report with the observations of American diplomatic representatives abroad. The interest of this government is predicated chiefly on two grounds: 1. The belief that security pact, under which principal powers in Europe pledge themselves to "no more war" for at least generation, will provide last great step in direction of European stability and recovery from world war, and. 2. The belief that such a security pact will eliminate last objection any European power, and notably France, may have toward again sitting down at conference table in Washington to discuss further reduction in armament. For these reasons, administration is desirous of seeing amicable agreement reached between nations of Europe, although this government officially can take no part in negotiations nor encourage openly any of various plans suggested. It is view of administration officials, however, that whatever plan ultimately is adopted must include Germany. A treaty that did include Germany would savior too much of al- DELAYED Court Hears Only Brief Testimony from Judge Olson and Fosberg CHICAGO, March 23.—Folling brief testimony by Judge Olson, "counsel for dead," and Chas.

"Would the youth of defend ant influence your verdict?" asked Test. Dist. Atty Harmon Skillin of Geo. A. Metcalf, first prospective juror. "It would." Metcalf answered emphatically. Asked if he would disregard course instructions as to youth of defendant, Metcalf said firmly: "I would. I would be guided by my own judgment in this case."

Two women were among the first called into jury box. That defense will be based on plea of temporary insanity was indicated thru questioning of second juror, Martin Hencken. Defense Counsel Sylvester McAtee asked juror if he had any prejudice against defense based upon temporary insanity of defendant. Before prospective juror could reply, Asst. Dist. Atty Skillin demanded if it was the plan of defense to claim insanity, state McAtee denied necessarily under law of supplying such information to state, but said: "In all frankness to court, I am willing to state insanity will be one of defenses offered in the case."

For these reasons, administration is desirous of seeing amicable agreement reached between nations of Europe, altho this government officially can take no part in negotiations nor encourage openly anv of various plans suggested. It is view of administration officials, however, that whatever plan ultimately is adopted must include Germany. A treaty that did include Germany would savior too much of alliance along pre-war lines, it was said. Pres. Coolidge's desire to invite the world to come to Washington and discuss further armament limitation is inextricably bound up in his present negotiations over the securely pact, according to the views held here. So long as France feels that her new borders are unsecured, and so long as she feels rightly or wrongly that she may again be subjected to the so-called "German menace," just so long is she expected to balk at any further talk of reducing her national defense. Once assured of the security that her statement constantly have argued for since the days of the Paris conference, administration officials believe French objections to another arms conference will readily yield to persuasion.

While additional doctors and nurses, rushed into the devastated area in last 48 hours, fought to stay threatened epidemics of gangrene, pneumonia and typhoid, citizens committees work with various relief organizations turned attention to rebuilding razed cities, replanting torn acreages and recapituation of losses. The total dead in the five states which felt the tornado's breath today was placed at 694 after careful checking and re-checking by Red Cross officials. Of these 552 were in Illinois, 87 in Indiana, 23 in Tennessee, 17 in Missouri and 15 in Kentucky. And unless scourge of pestilence stalks thru ruined areas, it is believed these figures will remain instant. This, physicians in district, today did not consider likely, altho they admitted danger was still too decidedly acute to permit any great amount of opium-I-m. They pointed out that ruining all water and sanitation plants in storm district, coupled with living conditions which tornado has forced, makes devastated area ripe for various plague, and has in fact, already brought out cases of violently communicable disease, but for most part, they believe victims have been isolated. Emergency water sterilization plants were in operation today, and doctors believe another 24 hours will see much of danger of pestilence lifted. BENTON, Ill., Mar. 23—As the given strength to conquer might handicaps in answer to servant supplications that flowed from every heart and fell from every lip, storm and fire ridden southern Illinois bent to the task today of rehabilitation and stav-ing off the odious possibility of pestilence.

Prayers for the hundreds horribly maimed and injured; prayers for strength to weak and to strong that they might carry on—prayers for the orphan, the name of Orange Co. FOR DRY RAIDERS Possibility that selection of jury would occupy greater portion of today in trial of Mrs. Beverly Ward and three other dry agents accused of contributing to delinquency of minor loomed at noon when special venire of prospective jurors was ordered called by Superior Judge F. C. Drumm. The regular list had been exhausted when many were challenged for cause, while both prosecution and defense still had right to exercise several peremptory challenges. Attorneys Frank Gray and Oscar Gipson, of Los Angeles, are representing defendants, Mrs. Jessie Wall, E. R. Wall and Frank Martin. Dist. Atty. A. P. Nelson and deputy, D. G. Wettilin, are appearing for prosecution. The defendants lost twice in preliminary motions argued before selection of jury was begun. Defense attorneys, who said they had but recently been called into case, asked continuance on this ground, but Judge Drumm denied petition, as he did a second motion for change of venue. It will be impossible for defendants who secured evidence that resulted in 70 arrests in county-wide dry raids, to secure impartial trial in Orange co., defense counsel told Judge Drumm, but court declared he could not agree. Several jurymen who were excused declared they already had formed opinion as to guilt of the defendants, and others, while admitting they wished to see prohibition laws enforced, frankly admitted they did not approve of persons "working under cover" to secure evidence. The four are specifically accused of inducing Ivory Shields, 29, son of a prominent Santa Ana family to buy liquor and of causing him to drink liquid he purchased for them at Santa Ana drug store.
